Nice appearing race, but he did get a great post and a real fast pace to close into. Not to mention that what he faced was with a couple exceptions not Open class horses.

Purses there are insane.  The purse in that race of $50,000 was more than they handled in the betting pool for it. 

I didn't examine all the races, but I believe the handle there is so low overall that the purse to handle ratio is not like any other track in existence.

Dover in Motions seems a very nice horse, and I am not directing this observation at him, but Oak Grove seems a bit faster than it should be. Seen more than a few improve 2+ seconds there. I have never been; is it a good surface, or perhaps a little short?

  • dougie: I don't really know a lot about Mike P. but I support his cause 100%. I admire his humanity toward these abused animals. I now know that there is a very minute number of people in harness racing who really care about their horses once they are not able to race/breed anymore. Those who don't carfe deserve their place in hell.

  • Trigger: Dougie, you're not boring, a touch naive at times i.e. the no show looney tunes  ngc3 but it gives you the cojones to be a risk taker too, hopeful winner!  Be rlevant to the discussion, don't plan your thoughts, a couple of bullet points and do it!  ;D
